PEELING

AFTERCARE

You've just received an Alumier® dermatological treatment. Depending on the nature of your treatment, you shouldn't necessarily expect to have peeling skin.

It is essential not to apply water for 12 hours after treatment.

However, mild to moderate desquamation may occur in a few localized areas for 3 to 7 days. You may also experience residual redness, which in most patients lasts between 1 and 12 hours.

It is recommended not to apply make-up on the day of treatment. Ideally, the skin should be left to stabilize and rest until the following day. However, make-up can be applied if necessary (in this case, mineral make-up is preferable). Tonight, your skin may feel tight. Although you may not have peeling skin, you are likely to feel a slight “exfoliation”. This may require 2 or more treatments to target the deeper layers of the skin. In order to achieve optimal results and avoid complications, please follow the post-peeling instructions listed below for approximately 5 to 7 days.

MORNING ROUTINE  

STEP 1: SensiCalm cleanser  

STEP 2: Intensive Recovery Cream or Recovery Balm  

STEP 3: Transparent moisturizing sun cream SPF 40 broad spectrum

EVENING ROUTINE 

STEP 1: SensiCalm cleanser

STEP 2: Intensive Recovery Cream or Recovery Balm

Important: moisturize your skin. Hydration is the key to good healing.

  • DO NOT cleanse your skin the evening after the peel or treatment.

  • DO NOT scrape or remove peeling skin

  • DO NOT sunbathe or use a tanning bed for at least 14 days after a peel. (It is essential to protect the skin with adequate sun protection. We recommend mineral 50 fps)

  • DO NOT use electrolysis, waxing, threading or any other form of hair removal for 7 days after treatment.

  • DO NOT use facial scrubs or any mechanical form of exfoliation for 14 days after peeling

  • DO NOT use retinoic acid, AHA or BHA for 14 days after peeling

  • DO NOT perform laser hair removal, photofacials, chemical peels or microdermabrasion for 14 days after the peel

  • DO NOT use whirlpool baths, saunas, steam rooms and/or take excessively hot showers for 2 days following the peel

  • DO NOT go swimming for 2 days after the peel

It is important to use only post-treatment products for 5 days after treatment. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your ESTHETIK care specialist.
